turing interests are developing to-day at
rate heretofore without precedent iu
this country. Chattanooga is not de-
pendent on any single branch OF indus
try, but It's diversified resources give ae-
tivity in some OF Its branches at all times.
The iron market may become paralYzed,
but this would not affect the city, as its
vast lumber interests, employing fully
5000 hands and representing over $4,OOO,-
900 capital, would sustain activity, be-
sides iron and marble interests, kaolin
and pottery interests, large tanneries and
other manufacturing enterprises make
the city veritable PittsburR, No
city in America has advantages equal to
Chattanooga for manufacturing. 1t has
water transportation the year around to
New Orleans, st. Louis and Cincinnati;
it has eight trunk lines convergIng In the
city, one more building and two more
projected; it Is backed by one OF the
most fertile valleys In the world; 1t
stands in the centre of a coal field second
to none in America; iron ore can be
mined at its doors, and within nifty miles
OF the city there is enough ore to supply
the world for centuries; limestone is the
bed rock on which it is built and crops
out on every hill and mountain; 1t is
the natural entrepot both by rail and
water for millions of acres OF virgin for
ests, sufficient TO supply all the world
for one thousand years; it Is the natural
depot for the greatest marble quarries of
the world, the quarries of East Tennessee
and North Georgia. 1t stands in the CEN
tire of exhaustless kaolin beds, superior
to the best banks in New Jersey and
Ohio, in evidence Of which the largest
potteries in those States receive their
choice supplies direct from Chattanooga.
Its climate 10 equable, enabling the work
men to live oheaply and hence reducing
the cost OF labor, and combines both by
geographical location and natural re-
source every quality TO constitute great
city and manufacturing centre.
The practical results sustain these
statements.
In what way7
Simply from the fact that every manu-
featuring enterprise that has ever been
located here-whether a blast furnace,
steel works, stove foundry, furniture fac
tory, planning mill, tile works, tannery, or
pillow factory-has enjoyed prosperity
from the start, and enriched every stock
holder. During tho year 1886 every fac
tory in Chattanooga enlarged from 20 to
100 per cent, and, during the present
year, even greater engagements will be
made.

FIGURING Mills.

The Tennessee valley above Chatta-
Dooga ia one OF the most fertile regions In
the South, and annually produces 7,000,-
600 bushels of whes<. There are now
two very large flourishing mills in the
city, and two more are soon to be erected.
In the above has been but briefly cited
the main points of Chattanooga present
Industrial Importance, but enough has
been set forth to prove Chattanooga's
present Importance and to show how she
has been favored by the Almighty in
diversified resources second to no city in
the land.

Reference has previously been made to
the great kaolin deposits in and around
Chattanooga. There is to-day an immense
fire brick and drain tile works in Chatta-
nooga, employing ever 100 hands, and It's
product commands a premium in the
market on account ofthe superior quality
of the clay. AS mas been previously stated,
branch of industry would prosper more
than a large pottery; there 10 likelihood
OF one being located hero.

This is an outline OF the scheme of
development contemplated. In connec-
ton with the map OF the estate 1t will
give fair idea OF the project IN it's en-
tirety.
IL has been the purpose to organize the
Chattanooga Land, Coal, Iron and Rail-
way Company on such a basis as will
commend its stock as safe and profita-
BILE investment, and nothing has been LETT
undone TO make il earn the confidence OF
the most incredulous. The company owns
lands which are now valuable, and will
largely increase in value as IL becomes
more available by the contemplated i'm
provemsnts.
1t will be observed that the purchasers
OF this stock are not only assured against
loss, because the lands OF the company,
IL sold at half what such property not
near so desirable In the vicinity OF Chat
tanooga is being sold at, will realize more
than fifteen millions OF dollars, and their
stock will control ana receive all the divi-
dends until their money Is returned,
leaving them their shares OF stock to par
ticipate equally with the common stock In
all after declared dividends.
The projectors OF this enterprise have
realized 10 profits TO themselves In the
premises, and will not, until the divi-
aends on the preferred stock are all paid
and the common stock, retained BY them
